Easter

A ghost of a mist was on the field

The gray and the green together

The noise of a distant farm machine

Out of the first light came

A tattered necklace of hedge end trees

On the southern side of the hill

Betrays where the border runs between

Where Mary Dunoon's boy fell

Easter here again

A time for the blind to see

Easter surely now

Can all of your hearts be free

Out of the port of Liverpool

Bound for the North of Ireland

The wash of the spray and horsetail waves

The roll of the sea below

And Easter here again

A time for the blind to see

Easter surely now

Can all of your hearts be free

Tu tu tu

Oh you know

What will you do

Make a stone of your heart

Will you set things right

When you tear them apart

Will you sleep at night

With the plough and the stars alight

What will you do

With the wire and the gun

That'll set things right

When it's said and done

Will you sleep at night

Is there so much love to hide

Tu tu tu

Oh you know

Tu tu tu

Oh you know

What will you do you here
